Snag It, Flash It, Ship It: Rethinking Factory Flashing With Open Tools - Romain Gantois, Bootlin & Paresh Bhagat, Texas Instruments
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
D201
Factory flashing is a critical stage in the lifecycle of any embedded product. It can quickly become a bottleneck in the supply chain, and its correct execution is essential to ensure that shipped devices are both fully functional and secure. Today’s available tools are often closed-source and tightly coupled to specific vendors, limiting flexibility and making customization difficult.

In 2023, Bootlin introduced Snagboot—an open-source, vendor-agnostic tool designed for recovering and reflashing embedded platforms. Building on this foundation, Bootlin and Texas Instruments collaborated in 2024 to expand Snagboot into a comprehensive factory flashing solution, maintaining its open-source and vendor-neutral nature.

In this talk, we’ll present Snagboot as a recovery and reflashing solution, highlighting its core tools, snagrecover and snagflash. We’ll then dive into the unique challenges of factory flashing and explain how our extended toolset—Snagfactory—addresses them effectively.

TPM Is No Silver Bullet: Pitfalls in Embedded Device Security - David Gstir, sigma star gmbh
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
Elicium 1
With the growing adoption of TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules) in the Linux ecosystem, thanks to features like TPM-backed disk encryption in systemd and the longstanding use in Windows BitLocker, TPM chips are seeing a resurgence as a go-to for secure secret storage. This trend is increasingly making its way into embedded devices. Often as a measure to fulfill NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act or similar requirements.

However, embedded systems present a vastly different threat model compared to desktops or servers, and TPMs often don’t deliver the level of security many developers assume. In this talk, David will demystify TPM functionality in embedded Linux environments. He will give a concise overview of security threats for embedded devices and where a TPM can and or where it cannot. Special focus will be put on using TPMs for disk encryption and integrity.

The session will wrap up with a discussion of alternative approaches, other usage scenarios for TPMs, and how to make informed decisions when designing secure embedded systems.

32-bit Linux Support Now and in the Future - Arnd Bergmann, Linaro
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
D201
Over the last few years, 64-bit Linux has made it from Servers, PCs and high-end embedded machines lower down in the market, everywhere including the smallest embedded Linux targets. This gives new challenges for users that rely on existing 32-bit hardware being kept up to date, while new features development and testing on those machines keeps winding down.

Arnd gives an overview of which 32-bit systems are still supported, and how long that is going to be the case. This covers modern ARMv7/v8 hardware, older ARMv4/v5/v6 machines, and other embedded CPU architectures.

Specific issues include MMU-less microcontrollers, large memory, small memory, 32-bit userland on 64-bit hardware and the state of the 2038 epochalypse.

Securing Software Supply Chains: OpenCode as Building Block for Sovereign Digital Infrastructure - Leonhard Kugler, Zentrum Digitale Souveränität
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
G105
As software becomes increasingly critical to the functioning of the state, economy, and society, ensuring its security and stability is a core task for governments. Secure software supply chains are a key component of this effort and a decisive factor for successful digitalisation. To effectively guarantee supply chain security, a new approach to IT security architecture is required, one that brings together the expertise of security experts, developers, and government agencies to standardise testing procedures and facilitate collaborative security analyses. The openCode platform, run by the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS), is central in addressing this challenge: by establishing binding security standards, promoting transparency, and enabling the tracing of origins for critical software components, openCode helps build resilient, sovereign OS infrastructure for public administration. A recent strategy paper published by ZenDiS and the German Federal Office for Information Security develops a strategy on how to secure software supply chains with openCode, which will be presented in this talk.

The CRA, Where Are We Six Months After Its Approval - Timo Perala, Nokia
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
G106
The Cyber Resielience Act (CRA) was approved late 2024 by European Union. 
Open source community was heavily involved in influencing drafting of the CRA. But the need for active engagement with the regulator did not end there. During the three-year period from late 2024 to late 2027 a lot of standardisation and guidance needs to be created to guide industries, manufacturers and open source community to best comply and cope with the CRA. Open source communities have organised to address these challenges.

Here we shortly explain the motivation for, and the main requirements set forth by the CRA, the various relevant organisations working on the regulation and the timelines of the work, as well as the achievements of the open source community in this work so far, and what is the work ahead of us towards the final deadline in late 2027. After the presentation you should be able to understand what the CRA is and why it is introduced, how it impacts world wide - also open source, how open source community is addressing this new regulation and how you can join the community.

Zephyr Workqueues: How They Work and Queue - Loic Domaigne, Doulos GmbH
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
D203
Zephyr provides workqueue, a mechanism used to offload non-urgent processing to a lower priority thread. Workqueues are typically found in ISR (interrupt service routine) and high-priority threads. 

In this talk, we shall present: 
- what workqueues are, and what they are not,
- their typical use case
- how workqueues, scheduling and meta-IRQ threads relate,
- some best practices to address some common challenges, like sysworkq bottleneck, passing data or handling cancellation
- some lesser known workqueues, like the p4_wq

This is a practical hands-on talk. We’ll therefore run demo code and investigate what’s going on under the hood by looking at the Zephyr internal implementation! This will help us to get a solid understanding of workqueues, their usages and limitations, “directly from the source” (code).

Trust, but Verify: Proactive Security in Open Source - Jess McClintock, Google
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
TBA
Ken Thompson's "Reflection on Trusting Trust" warns against blindly relying on others' code, emphasizing the gap between reviewed source and built artifacts. This is critical for developers navigating complex trust models, where source code alone offers limited assurance. Recent supply chain attacks on open source packages, like xz and boltdb-go, expose the real-world practicality of deceiving traditional source reviews, threatening the foundation of open source consumption.

In this talk, we discuss a novel method for analysing and investigating the code that actually gets built using Capslock, an open source CLI tool for analyzing Go packages. By analysing and exposing discrepancies between a package’s advertised and actual permissions, potential attacks (such as the malicious version of boltdb-go) can be thwarted. Integrating this capability information into both free public data sources (e.g. deps.dev) and guided code review systems enables developers to shift left, and feel more confident trusting open source.

Thinking Outside the (Linux) Box: Security Considerations From Human Actors - Esa Jääskelä, Buutti Oy
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
D201
Embedded Linux security often focuses on protecting the devices against attackers using technical safeguards like secure boot and kernel hardening. While essential, this engineering-oriented perspective can result in overlooking a major threat vector: human behavior. Social engineering remains a common attack method, and even embedded devices with limited interactability can be vulnerable to this.

This presentation explores the relationships between developers, users, and attackers to identify security requirements and possible shortcomings in security planning. Core principles include:

- Prevent users (and developers) from compromising security
- Design for resilience against security failures
- Recognize that misunderstandings lead to errors
- Communicate clearly to reduce social engineering risk

While the talk isn't deeply technical, it presents embedded Linux–oriented solutions to these human-centric challenges where applicable. The presentation is accessible to people who are still beginners in the embedded world. My goal is to ensure that device developers consider the actions of both malicious actors and legitimate users in their threat models.

Upstream Kernel Hardening: Progress on Enabling -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end - Gustavo A. R. Silva, The Linux Foundation
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
G102-103
The -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end compiler option was introduced in GCC 14. At the time, it revealed around 60,000 warnings in the upstream Linux kernel. While many of these were duplicates, about 650 are unique and require individual auditing and attention. These issues span different categories and vary in complexity, which adds to the challenge of globally enabling this compiler option in the upstream Linux kernel.

In this presentation, we'll share the progress we've made on this work as part of the Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP) over the past few months. We'll go over the challenges we've encountered, show concrete code examples, and demonstrate how to fix these kinds of problems. We'll also discuss why enabling this option is important for the kernel, and how we plan to complete this work in the near future.

Whether you're a seasoned kernel developer or someone looking to start contributing upstream, this presentation will introduce useful helpers and strategies you can use to fix existing code or implement new functionality, and in doing so, help us harden the upstream Linux kernel for the benefit of everyone.

The Impact of Copyleft on the EU CRA - Jimmy Ahlberg, Ericsson
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
G107
The introduction of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) marks a transformative milestone in software security regulation within the European Union, with far-reaching implications for global software practices. As the EU seeks to bolster cybersecurity standards across digital products and services, the CRA introduces new requirements aimed at identifying, managing, and mitigating vulnerabilities more effectively.

This session will explore the specific implications of the CRA for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), with a particular focus on projects under Copyleft licenses such as the GNU General Public License (GPL). Copyleft licenses, which require derivative works to also be open source, present unique challenges in the context of the CRA's provisions.

Join us as we delve into the complexities and opportunities presented by the EU CRA, and explore its impact on the future of Free and Open Source Software.

Better PURLs for Better Software Compliance Processes - Philippe Ombredanne, AboutCode & Dennis Roellke, Bloomberg
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
G106
Reliably identifying software components is a critical requirement for regulatory compliance. 

PURL is the de-facto standard for the reliable naming of components in software applications, products, and systems, across programming languages, package ecosystems, tools, APIs and databases. Every open source and most proprietary tools for Software Composition Analysis (SCA), along with all SBOM and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX) specifications and most vulnerability databases, adopted PURL for component identification. But a 2024 Software Composition Analysis (SCA) report demonstrated significant inconsistencies in how different tools create PURLs… 

Better PURLs is a comprehensive project of open source tools and open data to correct this problem. The extended PURL syntax validation confirms that the PURL components (namespace, name, version, qualifiers) are correct for a given package ecosystem, according to the specification, and that the PURL locates an existing software package artifact. 

In this talk, Philippe from AboutCode and Dennis from Bloomberg will share the latest developments and how accurate and correct PURLs facilitate better compliance processes.

A First Person Identity System for Open Source - Wenjing Chu, Futurewei Technologies Inc. & Drummond Reed, Gen
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST

Open source has a trust problem. One may attribute this to the age old problem of identity frauds and related security vulnerabilities on the Internet. One may further worry that the rise of AI will dramatically increase this risk and even overrun the Internet altogether without mitigation in a fundamental level. One may also see it as an inevitable consequences of 'de-globalization' or 'fragmentation' which sows distrust and threatens to undo many of the progress we had made in the past two plus decades. The Linux Foundation's Executive Director Jim Zemlin highlighted this challenge during the LFDT member summit last year, then re-emphasized it again during the LF member summits in the fall last year and again this spring in 2025. This is a followup to that "Call to Action" to a First Person Project. A decentralized First Person developer ID system is one of the things we can do in the open source infrastructure level, i.e. the fundamental ways of practice that we know as open source, to meet this challenge. In this session, we will examine the issues, discuss the First Person Project and solution approaches, and update the community its progress.

Of Queens and Other Benevolent Dictators – the Role of Succession Planning in Open Source Community - Aeva Black, Independent & Hazel Weakly, Nivenly Foundation
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
Auditorium
Several high-profile incidents have raised global awareness that single-maintainer projects can become single points of global risk. However, a similar risk exists among established and mature projects – the attrition of a small “core” group of maintainers can be just as damaging to downstream dependencies.

Today, many established projects are facing significant maintainer attrition while vibrant and younger communities have formed around derivatives and forks. Meanwhile, entire new ecosystems have emerged and become characterized by generational divides.

Why is this happening, and what can you do to prepare to pass the mantle of project leadership?

We will discuss factors contributing to a rising participation barrier, then explore strategies for community growth and educate policymakers on ways to support the longevity and security of mid- and large-sized open source projects.

Machine Learning on Microcontrollers With Zephyr and Emlearn - Jon Nordby, Soundsensing
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
D202
Modern Machine Learning makes it possible to automatically extract valuable information from sensor data, and it has become feasible to deploy ML systems to low-cost embedded devices and sensors. This niche is often referred to as "TinyML", and is enabling a range of new applications in consumer electronics, science and industry.

emlearn is an open-source project for deploying Machine Learning models to any device with a C99 compiler. It provides a Python library for converting models made with scikit-learn or Keras to efficient C code. The library has been used for many applications across a range of sensor modes, such as audio, vibration, power-line, radar, et.c.

Zephyr RTOS is a comprehensive open-source operating system that runs on a wide range of microcontrollers. The support for low-power operation, communication protocols, and standardized "sensors" API makes it a very attractive platform for TinyML applications.

In this presentation, we introduce the emlearn project, and show how it can be used together with Zephyr. We will cover the key features and tools that the library provides, and demonstrate how to perform practical Machine Learning tasks.

ESSTRA: A Software Suite To Enhance Software Transparency and Traceability in Software Supply Chain - Takuya Namae, Sony Group Corporation
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
Elicium 1
When you use OSS, do you want to know which source files are compiled and included in the binaries? Project ESSTRA (https://github.com/sony/esstra) is a tool that collects a list of source files while compiling your software and embeds the data into the binaries.

Recently, the importance of using SBOMs has been increasing, and there is a growing demand for improved transparency and traceability in the software supply chain from the perspectives of vulnerability management and OSS license compliance. However, it is difficult to trace the details of which files are included in the binaries used in your product or service, and which OSS licenses to comply with based on this data.

To solve this issue, Sony has developed ESSTRA. It is available now as open source itself, and includes both a GCC plugin to record source files during a build and embed it into resulting binaries, as well as a tool to manage the information.

ESSTRA is already supported by Binary Analysis Next Generation (BANG) tool.

Attendees of this session will learn how to use ESSTRA and take the first steps to improve the transparency and traceability of your project's software.

Streamlining Open-Source License Compliance With the Continuous Clearing Tool - Amrit Kumar Verma & Dearsh Oberoi, Siemens
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
G107
We present Continuous Clearing (CA) Tool, an open-source solution designed to automate & accelerate the license clearing of OSS components. This tool streamlines the identification & license compliance of 3rd party OSS components within various projects, including those using NPM, NuGet, Maven, Python, Alpine & Debian. It ensures that orgs. maintain a SBOM for all builds within the DevOps pipeline. It is designed with 3 different modules:

1. Package Identifier: This module accepts a package file or BOM as input & produces a SBOM file as output. It classifies each dependency type & incorporates into the output SBOM.

2. SW360 Package Creator: Utilizing the SBOM from the package identifier, this module identifies & creates any missing components or releases in SW360. Then associates components with the relevant project in SW360 & triggers the upload to FOSSology & automatically updates the clearing state in SW360. It also offers an option to exclude dev dependencies, if they are not relevant for compliance.

3. Artifactory Uploader: This final module takes the updated BOM & uploads components tagged as "Report approved" clearing state to the JFrog artifactory.

Build Distroless Containers the Easy Way: From Full Fat To Featherweight With Unbase_oci - Nikolas Kraetzschmar, SAP
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Emerald Room
Tired of wrangling dependencies to craft distroless containers from scratch? unbase_oci flips the script.

Instead of painstakingly building up from a minimal base, you start with a comfortable, fully-featured container—think debian or ubuntu—and develop as usual. Then, with one simple command, unbase_oci automatically strips your image down to the bare essentials by comparing it to the base and keeping only what’s truly needed.

No more trial-and-error to get your distroless image just right. Write normal Dockerfiles, enjoy all your debugging tools during dev, and let unbase_oci do the slimming for production.

It’s Bash. It’s fast. It’s minimal. It works with any OCI image and requires nothing but standard Unix tools and your container engine of choice.

Let’s stop over-engineering minimalism. Build smart, then unbase.

Defense in Depth: High Speed Cloud Native With Soft- and Hardware Protected Functions - Ralph Squillace, Microsoft
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
G001-002
GitHub is one of the largest (if not the largest) open-source code repositories in the world, but its growth creates technical challenges: How can it continue to scale up activities at its rate of growth? How can it protect activities from each other if one uses code with a malicious attack in it?

This talk describes a fun experiment using the CNCF project Hyperlight and WebAssembly (wasm) components to investigate radical scaling of GitHub events using WebAssembly Components to both handle heavy event load on smaller, less costly VMs but at the same time use Hyperlight to provide hardware protection to each individual function.

WebAssembly is a form of “cloud native binary” that runs on almost any operating system and architecture. The emerging wasm component model is a series of standards that enables any language to make use of components written in any other language while radically scoping in the capabilities of a function, giving it only the permissions to execute that the host deems necessary.

When combined with the Hyperlight project, it becomes possible to use security-in-depth features to scale compute far more with far less risk.

Elicium 1
More and more industrial products are being designed with add-on components that can be hotplugged at runtime and connected with non-discoverable busses: I²C, MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, and seemingly simpler ones such as interrupts and GPIO lines.

Work is in progress for the kernel to support such hardware using device tree overlays. This talk describes the goals, work done and in progress and future directions. Special attention will be given to the DRM subsystem which is by far the most challenging one.

Topics covered are:

* Problem statement and overview of the goals

* Non-discoverable hotplug in general: device tree overlays and how to properly describe connectors and

add-ons (nexus nodes, export-symbols), instantiating devices, I²C bus issues

* DRM specific: hotplugging in the DRM subsystems, challenges in making DRM bridges removable, current work and next steps

Discussion about future directions will be very welcome.

Hybrid THP Mechanism. Selective Use of Huge Pages by Hot Applications - Asier Gutierrez, Huawei
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
G104
Currently, THP policies are used globally, for the entire system. This leads to memory fragmentation and memory waste. Main memory has increased a lot faster than TLB entries, and it will continue to do so. Given the limited TLB cache entries, this becomes a serious bottleneck for real world applications. Huge pages are supposed to resolve this issue, since the a single entry in the TLB can map a big chunk of memory. However, this eventually leads to memory fragmentation and eventually the system runs out of usable memory. Hence, most sysadmins and user space application suggest to disable huge pages

We introduce a hybrid page mechanism where hot applications can use huge pages transparently, while avoiding the entire system to use huge pages.

During the talk, we will show how we managed to decrease the huge page consumption as well as benchmarks on real applications.

Your SBOM Is Lying To You – Let’s Make It Honest - Yuchen Zhang & Justin Cappos, New York University
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
G106
SBOMs (Software Bills of Material) are essential for improving visibility and security in the software supply chain. As open-source code drives modern development, organizations face growing security risks due to limited transparency in software dependencies. Attacks like SolarWinds (2020) and Kaseya (2021) highlight the urgent need for stronger software supply chain security.

However, SBOMs are often inaccurate. This talk explores why these inaccuracies occur, how attackers exploit them, and how to address these issues. A key challenge is dependency management file analysis (e.g., cargo.toml for Rust), which struggles to track components effectively.

Enter SBOMit, an OpenSSF sandbox project leveraging in-toto attestations to create cryptographically verifiable SBOMs. By capturing supply chain steps as they occur, SBOMit enhances accuracy, mitigates tampering risks, and strengthens security. This talk examines SBOMit’s role in improving SBOM reliability across the CNCF ecosystem.

OpenSSH has built-in support for FIDO security keys since version 8.2 (released in 2020). This means you can protect your SSH private keys using security keys, similar to how this can be done with OpenPGP smart cards and cryptographic tokens that support PKCS#11. Although such devices all allow you to protect your private keys using cryptographic hardware, the benefits on using FIDO include:

- FIDO is easier to use, especially for beginners

- security keys can be used on the web as well to store passkeys

- no need for vendor-specific software (like PKCS#11 modules)

- security keys are inexpensive

- FIDO features device attestation, which lets you cryptographically prove you are using a specific security key make and model.

In this talk, we will give a short introduction to FIDO security keys, and provide several demos of the use of security keys with OpenSSH, such as signing arbitrary data, authenticating to remote systems, and using key attestation.

The talk consists of a number of demos that participants can follow along on their system. Participants can bring their own security key (any vendor will do). If they do not own a security key one will be provided to them.

Health Check-ups on OSS Software Projects: Managing Risks While Promoting (Re)use - Johan Linåker, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:25 CEST
G107
Open Source Software (OSS) intake is ever growing. An international Telco recently reported a surge from 30 to over 60,000 unique OSS components annually. However, this rapid adoption also introduces risks. The quality and security of OSS depend heavily on the maintenance efforts and health of its community.

In this talk, we show how organizations can systematically monitor the health of their OSS dependencies. This involves assessing the long-term viability and quality of OSS projects, akin to a medical check-up. Our study, detailed in the OSS Metrics chapter of the TODO group's OSPO book, identified 21 key health aspects through literature review and expert interviews. These aspects help organizations evaluate OSS projects based on factors like community productivity, stability, and governance.

Implementing health assessments requires a tailored approach, as demonstrated in our case study with a major automotive manufacturer. We present a semi-automated process for intake-stage inspections and automated monitoring for deployed components. Continuous training and feedback sessions are essential for integrating health assessments into standard practices.

Power Dynamics, Rug Pulls, and Other Corporate Impacts on OSS Sustainability - Dawn Foster, CHAOSS
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
G107
Power imbalances are everywhere, including in our OSS projects, and in today’s cloud native world, the power dynamics have gotten even more complex. We’ve recently seen an increase in relicensing of open source projects and other tensions within communities that are directly related to imbalances in power that cause disruption within our open source projects. The many users, contributors, and even maintainers who have less power can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under them. We have mechanisms, like forks, where those with less power can counter these moves, regardless of the forms they take.

This talk will not only help people understand the power dynamics at play, but it will also provide tangible steps that we can take as maintainers, contributors, and users to make better decisions about focusing our precious time on making our projects more sustainable. There is no way to accurately predict which projects will not be sustained, but this talk will contain suggestions for how to look for warning signs. By attending this talk, you will learn more about the power dynamics and steps that you can take to make better decisions about which OSS projects to embrace.

CANnectivity: Zephyr-based USB To CAN Adapter Firmware - Henrik Brix Andersen, Vestas Wind Systems A/S
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
D202
A crucial component in the development of firmware utilizing Controller Area Network (CAN) communication is a host-connected CAN adapter. Several commercial and open-source solutions are available for this purpose, but each has its own limitations. The CANnectivity firmware, a Zephyr-based open-source firmware for Universal Serial Bus (USB) to Controller Area Network (CAN) adapters, aims to address these limitations.

This presentation will go over the considerations leading to the development of the CANnectivity firmware, its intended use cases, and the advantages it offers over existing solutions. I will provide an overview of the firmware’s architecture, the automated testing procedures currently in place for validation, and the future plans for its enhancement.

Model-Based Testing for the Zephyr RTOS - Philipp Panzer, UL Solutions
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
D203
The use of Zephyr in safety-critical domains poses a significant challenge with regard to certification. Since feature development in open-source projects is usually not driven by a centralized requirement specification, V&V become challenging tasks: The lack of a requirement specification makes the subject of validation hard to capture. Verification requires considerable effort for manual test creation. To address these issues, we explore a Model-Based Testing (MBT) approach for Zephyr, which involves the creation of a formal model of the system. Based on this specification, runnable test cases are automatically derived which pass if the actual software implementation aligns with the model. We present our approach of applying MBT to Zephyr's semaphore API, which uses TLA+ and generates runnable ZTest test cases. Given the promising results of our initial exploration, we want to share our ideas with the community to encourage further work in this area. We argue that an integration of MBT into Zephyr’s development cycle results in formal specifications of the system, which, combined with test generation, enable automated conformance testing and facilitate continuous certification.

Unified Boot Time Measurement: A Precise, Scalable Framework for Multi-Processor Systems - Vishnu Pratap Singh & Soumya Tripathy, Texas Instruments
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Elicium 1
This session introduces a unified boot time measurement framework that overcomes these limitations. Inspired by U-Boot’s bootstage mechanism, it leverages hardware timers to generate synchronized timestamps across heterogeneous subsystems. Instead of relying on fragmented logs, the framework writes boot markers to a reserved DDR memory region, enabling a Linux utility to extract and analyze the complete boot timeline via the devmem interface. This approach ensures end-to-end visibility, enabling developers to pinpoint inefficiencies, optimize boot sequences, and improve system responsiveness.

With the increasing complexity of embedded devices—ranging from IoT and industrial automation to automotive and networking—achieving fast and predictable boot times is more important than ever. This talk provides a vendor-agnostic, software-based approach to measuring and optimizing boot performance, benefiting developers working on custom Linux BSPs, embedded RTOS systems, and real-time applications.

Shifting Safety Techniques To a Statistical World - Imanol Allende, Codethink & Nicholas Mc Guire, OpenTech
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
D204
The current aim of the industry is to develop and deploy highly complex safety-related systems. However, these systems differ significantly from traditional deterministic ones. Modern systems demand high-performance and security while exhibiting inherent non-determinism, challenging conventional safety approaches.

As safety-related systems evolve toward unprecedented complexity, they increasingly exhibit emergent properties that cannot be adequately captured through Descartes' approach of "dividing each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it". This fundamental shift requires a transition from element-by-element analysis to holistic statistical modeling.

Consequently, we believe the future lies in statistical system analysis. Methods like Probabilistic Worst Case Execution Time and Statistical Path Coverage demonstrate how complex systems can be assured through statistical approaches.

This presentation identifies limitations of traditional techniques, explores opportunities offered by statistical approaches with examples, and analyzes requirements for these methods to be effectively applied in the functional safety domain.

The Native Simulator and Zephyr - Alberto Escolar, Nordic Semiconductor
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
D203
The native simulator is an evolution of Zephyr's native_posix and the POSIX architecture.

It is a basic part of Zephyr's test and debug infrastructure which allows you to build, run and debug your code directly in your host, instrumenting it however you want.

In this talk we will cover:

* An introduction to the native simulator in Zephyr.

* Why does it exist: What one can do with it, and how we use it in Zephyr.

* The native simulator based targets we have in Zephyr.

* How does it work: A brief description of its architecture and what it supports.

* What the average user needs to know ("I just want to run my tests on it, what are the gotchas").

* What a power user needs to know ("I want to write my own driver to interact with a host peripheral, how?").

Why and How We Updated Our License Policy for Use of Open Source - Nico Rikken, Alliander & Jonas van den Bogaard, Alliander N.V.
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:35 CEST
G107
As open source becomes increasingly important, more organizations are recognizing its value. However, organizations like Alliander, a Dutch Grid Operator, which are not primarily software companies, face unique challenges in its adoption.

One of the first policies we created as an OSPO was the license policy for the use of open source. It quickly became the most viewed page of our OSPO guidance. As our understanding of open source in the enterprise grew, we encountered more licenses and edge cases that needed to be addressed. Consequently, our policy expanded to the point where it became unwieldy for our colleagues to use. We took the time to restructure our license policy to accommodate more situations while making it easier to understand for those new to open source licensing.

In this presentation, we will discuss how the Alliander OSPO developed a licensing policy that evolved in complexity over time. We will cover the issues we needed to address, the process of updating our policy, and the details of the updated policy itself. Our story underscores the value an OSPO can gain from close collaboration with senior developers, software asset management, and the legal department.

NeoNephos' OpenMFP and Platform Mesh: Building Composable Enterprise Architectures - Bastian Echterhölter & Mirza Kopic, SAP SE
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Emerald Room
OpenMFP addresses the critical challenge of fragmented user experiences in enterprise environments by establishing a unified architectural framework for micro frontend composition. The platform creates seamless digital UX by standardizing how distributed UI components integrate while preserving team autonomy and eliminating redundancies of core functionalities.

Platform Mesh establishes interoperability between multiple providers by building upon the Kubernetes API and resource model. Developers and admins can discover, access, and order services from various sources through their beloved kubectl.

The architectural implementation leverages a GraphQL layer that orchestrates resources through the Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM), secured by a fine grained authorization approach (ReBAC) with OpenFGA.

These complementary technologies power diverse applications: Internal Developer Platforms, enterprise marketplaces and self-service portals. We'll demonstrate how NeoNephos projects reduce cognitive load, accelerate development, and support European cloud sovereignty. The talk shows how open source solutions are reshaping enterprise platform patterns through composable architecture.

Setting up Real-time Ethernet and TSN With Linux: A 10-step Guide - Jan Altenberg, Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) eG
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Elicium 2
The Ethernet real-time evolution, partly driven by TSN standards, may represent an important step for building an open ecosystem for fieldbus communication. With more TSN capable hardware supported by Free and Open Source Software, this ecosystem seems to be almost complete – but still not very much in use. One reason may be the lack of support and the complexity of choosing and configuring the software. This presentation addresses this gap and presents a guide of how to set up real-time Ethernet communication on a Linux system. It includes a list of software components, configuration details of the network devices, routing of critical traffic and timely processing by the Linux kernel.

Adding the W3C’s New ARRM To Improve Your Project’s Accessibility - Mike Gifford, CivicActions
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
G001-002
The W3C recently released a draft of the Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) framework—a practical tool for open source teams to better define and share accessibility responsibilities across roles. In this session, we’ll explore how ARRM can help open source maintainers, designers, developers, content contributors, and community leaders collaborate more effectively on accessibility goals.

Whether you’re maintaining a solo project or coordinating a large contributor base, ARRM offers a roadmap to embed accessibility into your workflows and culture—without burning out a single “accessibility lead.” Learn how adopting ARRM can help your project move from one-time audits to continuous improvement, and why accessibility is a shared responsibility—not just a technical checklist.

Team Topologies and the Value Paths for OSPOs & ISPOs - Clare Dillon, CURIOSS
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
G107
In 2019 Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais’s published Team Topologies, which became a widely influential book in the software and DevOps communities, praised for its practical framework on organizing teams for fast flow and effectiveness. The book defines four fundamental team types (including enabling and platform teams). Team Topologies' popularity drove investment in enabling and platform teams, as organizations attempted to reduce cognitive load and support stream-aligned teams through better internal tooling and collaboration structures. Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and InnerSource Program Offices (ISPOs) are organizational units that enable open collaboration practices. In this talk, Clare will use the Team Topologies framework as a lens to understand how these program offices fit into an organization’s structure. This talk will explore how Team Topologies can provide a foundation for crafting a clear and compelling value proposition for OSPOs and ISPOs. It helps translate the often intangible or misunderstood work of these program offices into well-defined roles, interactions, and outcomes that resonate with business, engineering, and leadership audiences.
